NEW YORK - July 22, 2019 - PRLog -- (New York, NY) The perks of using a digital wallet are endless. You can store money electronically without having to carry cash or go to a physical bank. Most digital wallet apps also have built-in features that enable refilling and making bill payments. Digital wallets are ideal for those who want to process payments, pay their bills, and exchange money with family and friends without having to put in their bank details. They are easy-to-use, simple, and secure.

The secret to this ease of use is in the Near-Field Communication technology. NFC technology allows you to scan from your digital wallet to a merchant's e-reader within a four inch radius. Placing your smartphone within range of the e-reader enables a prompt from your digital wallet to pop up and confirm payment without needing to physically swipe a bank card to checkout. Digital wallets are also making in-roads in cryptocurrency.

Technology giants like Amazon, Google, and start-ups like New York City-based Passfeed are becoming the primary converters for adding digital currency, including bitcoin, into their e-Commerce ecosystems. NFC technology and cryptocurrency, along with the encrypted data and tokenization, a process which replaces sensitive data with a one-time card number that is useless after purchase, means a more convenient and secure experience. However, merchants love digital wallets as well.

Many retailers and merchants, including chains like Target and Walgreens have made digital wallet payment options available within their stores over recent years. Generations of businesses--big, small, and everywhere in between-- are aware that they must keep up with consumers' wants and needs in order to survive.

Passfeed, "Your Social Shopping App" prides itself on being an all-encompassing digital wallet, capable of combining all these features into an easy, one-stop shopping and banking experience.
